8 months old!

Jacen now weighs a bit over 24 lbs and is 29 inches long. Over the last month, he began developing an uncontrollable urge to scream at the top of his lungs. He must love listening to his own scream because he does it all the time. I'm not really sure how to get him to stop, especially during Sacrament Meeting. It's so embarrassing! But I let him scream all he wants at home and he loves it. He also started to scoot himself around our house just a couple of days ago. It's not really crawling, but it's a "backwards sliding movement". I don't know how he learned that, but hey, at least he's moving around! And he takes his toys with him wherever he goes, it's quite funny to watch! Another thing is that he finally began to grow some hair, enough for me to gel it and put it in a mohawk. Cute, eh?

I can't believe my baby is that old already. I miss the old days when he slept all the time. It's getting harder and harder every week to keep him down for his naps so I can sleep when I get home from work in the mornings. I really have no idea how people can do this more than once- and I mean "do this" as in have more than just one child. They're so cute, but they're hard work!
